May Making

And just like that, May zoomed by. Although it might have been quiet here on the blog, May was anything but. I promise there was making....

Making memories with the family...

I am seriously smitten with Miss Magpie! I just love that she recognizes my voice now and giggles at our favorite silly games and sounds! Still in love with her!

Kind of like the way I'm in love with this kid, even when he is being a goofball!

Making, baking, and celebrating a lovely Mother's Day earlier this month.....

My sister and I put together a backyard tea that was just perfect. They totally got into trying all of my favorite teas too....so fun!

Seriously cute, right?!?! I know....I'm biased.

And this sweet girl made sure I had a special day. She has such a big heart, I'm truly blessed.

Making of the knitting kind.....

I had to practically force myself to knit the above few stitches last week, after three weeks of not knitting. I'll be honest, the beginning of the month was tough health-wise. I was experiencing a lot of pain that made knitting not so fun. But, after some tests, I had good news and my doctors have me on a great plan that is working! I have to say the past week or so I've felt almost back to normal, with minimal pain!

At Lil' Snowboarder's softball games last weekend, I finished the above project and then picked my Polartorte hat back up. Btw, I think we may have to start calling her Lil' Softballer or something because she has at least four games this weekend!!

I was looking forward to finishing this hat this weekend, but I left it at home?!?! Ugh. Fortunately I brought back up WIPs, but not ones I'm loving.... oh well.

What kind of making have you guys been up to in May? I can't wait to hear!

I found my knitting mojo :) I've started and finished three baby hats (one for mine and two for a cousin of Husband's that will be having twins), a washcloth, and I've started a sweater for Stormageddon. Little Man has requested a hat, as well (which I haven't started).

I was worried for a bit that my mojo was gone.

Also, glad you're doing well. I was tempted to email you to check but I just never got that far :(

What the heck happened to the month of May?!?! It was upon us and then.... SHAZAM! It was over! I finished a sweater for me but it's too big. I guess that's what happens when you lose 20 pounds while knitting it. I'll decide in the fall if it will be ok or if I should frog it and repurpose the yarn.

Off topic.....was over on Ravelry and saw an ad for Sullivan Family Collections.....hey, my maiden name is Sullivan, lets go take a look...Irish Girlie???? Isnt that a blog I read? Yup it is.....oh my gosh....she is a Sullivan too?????!!!!! Apparently I do not pay attention to detail!

I've been working on two different scarfs (one is done - gift for a friend who is leaving where I work) and other is just because it seemed like a good idea/pattern. Also trying to finish the edge on a shawl that stalled out last summer when I ran out of yarn and could not find the place I had purchased the original yarn and ended up finding something that will work but is not the same. lol Glad you are back!
